Wireless-N ADSL2+ Gateway
Wireless-B networking only, select Standard - 20MHz
Channel.
NOTE: If you select Wide - 40MHz Channel for
the Radio Band setting, then Wirelss-N can use
two channels: a primary one (Wide Channel)
and a secondary on (Standard Channel). This will
enhance Wireless-N performance..
Wide Channel If you selected Wide - 40MHz Channel for
the Radio Band setting, then this setting will be available
for your primary Wireless-N channel. Select any channel
from the drop-down menu.
Standard Channel Select the channel for Wireless-N,
Wireless-G, and Wireless-B networking. If you selected
Wide – 40MHz Channel for the Radio Band setting, then
the Standard Channel will be a secondary channel for
Wireless-N. If you are not sure which channel to select, do
not make any changes.
Wireless SSID Broadcast When wireless devices survey
the local area for wireless networks to associate with, they
will detect the wireless network name or SSID broadcast
by the Gateway. If you want to broadcast the Gateway’s
SSID, keep the default, Enable. Otherwise, select Disable.

Wireless > Wireless Security
The Wireless Security screen configures the security of your
wireless network(s). The following wireless security mode
options are supported by the Gateway: WPA2-Personal,
WPA Personal, WPA2-Enterprise, WPA Enterprise, RADIUS,
and WEP. WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access), is a security
standard stronger than WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)
encryption. WPA2 is a more advanced, more secure version
of WPA. WPA-Enterprise, WPA2-Enterprise, and RADIUS use
a RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service)
server for authentication. For detailed instructions on
configuring wireless security for the Gateway, refer to
“Chapter 2: Wireless Security”.
